Garmin 010-11092-00 Foot Pod for Garmin Forerunner Sports Watch - Black

Product Information

Clearly, the Fenix is using the foot pod speed to estimate distance even outdoors with the GPS on. Just as clearly the Forerunner 410 is using the GPS to measure distance and is ignoring the foot pod data for this purpose. Both devices were showing the same slower than actual speed data on the the first run and faster than actual on the second. It’s been somewhat of a mystery to me why Garmin has not produced either a copycat Stryd pod or a copycat Whoop Recovery wristband. Those two omissions really have troubled me 😉 and I now understand why, at least, we have not yet seen a copycat Stryd running power pod.

Weight- One thing that may make you fail to achieve your goals when running is heavy gear on your foot or waist. So, ensure that the foot pod and running shoes are as light as possible to go at higher running speed. There is little reason to add too much weight and pressure to your foot. All the devices reviewed above are very light. A: No, your ANT+ receiver will likely have one though (except the FR60). There are no ANT+ foot pods on the market that have a GPS chip in them. And there are no non-ANT+ foot pods that have them either to my knowledge. While Stryd is mainly about power it also provides pace, distance and speed to a highly accurate level without using GPS. Unlike a GPS watch that can struggle with some built up urban runs and those dreaded tunnels, Stryd won’t drop out. There’s also no need for calibration, it works straight out of the box. Windy courses can dampen spirits and performance expectations resulting in significant impacts beyond that which the weather alone would have wrought. With the training from Stryd, you’ll have a much better understanding of a realistic impact, allowing a more realistic mental approach to the race I finally got my fenix3 and a second foot pod so I can answer a few of my own questions as well as Herve’s.A: No…and unfortunately won’t in the future. The FR210 was released as an ‘upgraded version’ of the FR110 to specifically support the foot pod. One really cool tool that’s come available since I originally wrote this is a tool which enables you to actually calibrate the footpod by just doing your runs as normal outside with the GPS turned on. Based on those runs the tool can determine your correct calibration factor. Pretty cool! Would you recommend getting a foot pod to complement Garmin fénix 3/fénix 3 HR/epix GPS watches if one desires best pace/distance traveled accuracy? Setting a foot pod SPEED setting to INDOOR means that speed/pace input from the Foot Pod will be ignored by your watch unless you have told it that you are running indoors by selecting INDOOR RUN as your type of activity. Setting it to ALWAYS means that your watch will always display speed and pace information derived from the foot pod irrespective of whether you are recording an outside activity (HIKE, RUN or TRAIL RUN) or an INDOOR RUN.

I find the above two answers somewhat unclear and conflicting: If you don’t disable GPS, do you get a map (as per answer 1) or not (hinted at by answer 2)? Now, if you run on a treadmill a lot, and need precise distance and pace data, and don’t trust the treadmill’s display, then a foot pod will be useful. But I don’t think that specific demographic and use case scenario is getting any larger than it already is.At times it’s complicated: Power is still relatively new to running and as you’d expect with a new metric there’s quite a lot of detailed information to get your head around. The Stryd Powercentre is full of new tools that aim to help you apply power in a training situation but there’s a lot of new terminology that we found quite daunting. I made some test yesterday and it seems that maybe the distance “Allways” is a good option as i am in a city preety much dense in terms of buildings, and maybe if it’s well calibrated there won’t be annoying things like “under the bridge” problem where the gps suddendly cut the line… I still don’t know. Easy on and off: Unlike some other power-monitoring products that feature sensors built into sole inserts, the Stryd cradle makes it really easy to transfer the pod between your running shoes. And the truth is, if you care about your running enough to invest in a power pod, chances are you’ll have different shoes for training, racing, fast and slow sessions. Until now i was using the footpod i was only using the footpod for the cadence and the pace (min/km) was still set on GPS data, and data were pretty accurate (comparing them on the calibration tool)
